It's Official!
Lincoln Fine Arts Night
Thank you for a wonderful evening!
Planning for 2018-2019
Please do not specify teachers. Specific requests for teachers will not be honored. As many of you know, we spend a great deal of time matching children to the most appropriate teacher while balancing classes in many ways. The final placement decisions are made by me. These are the same guidelines that have been in place for years and I plan to continue this process in the best interest of children. I would like to thank you in advance for observing the above guidelines.
Respectfully,
Mr. Mitchem
1st Grade VIP Day
Landscaping Anyone?
Calling all green (or not-so-green) thumbs! It's time for a little Lincoln Landscaping before school let's out for the year. This is a volunteer event - the more hands on deck, the quicker it goes. Please bring your own gardening tools and gloves. It's primarily clean up, raking, trimming hedges, etc. If you are splitting any hosta or flowers this spring and would like to donate them, please bring them along and we'll find a good spot to plant them.
Landscaping at the school is a great way for the students to get involved and make sure that the space they share every day is looking good!
When: Sunday, May 20 at 12 pm - 2 pm
Please let Jen Nau know if you can attend via email at jennifer.j.nau@gmail.com and remember to check in / sign in with her that day.

From the Health Office:
Dental Exams:
A friendly reminder to all kindergarten and 2nd grade parents: your student is required to have a proof of dental exam on file in the health office. Dental exam forms are due by May 15, 2018. Forms can be found on the district website under Health Services or in the Lincoln health office.
Clothes Needed:
The health office is running low on pants to share with students who find themselves wet or muddy. We could use donations of clean, gentle used pants. Elastic waist pants work best (athletic pants, sweatpants, leggings). A variety of sizes are needed from size 5/6 to 14/16 for both boys and girls. Donations of new underwear in all sizes is needed as well. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
